Benefits of technology

This patent is about a rotary tool that is designed to improve the accuracy and stability of cutting larger holes in components. The tool has a lightweight and low-cost support structure that reduces weight and inertia during machining. The corset structure on the support structure limits the expansion of the area that supports the cutting edge, which helps to keep the cutting edges in a stable position even at high temperatures. This allows for high-precision cutting of components with large inside diameters.

Problems solved by technology

Especially by the fact that more and more electromotive drives or conventional gearings having a higher number of speeds are required, there is a more urgent problem of high-precision cutting large inside diameters such as e.g. the inside diameter of a stator housing of an electric motor.
If, however, the material removal is to be increased to render manufacture more profitable, further problems will arise:
Since the machining operation is rather time-consuming due to the fact that the surface to be machined is quite large, the support structure is heated and expands corresponding to its thermal expansion coefficient.

first embodiment

[0054]FIG. 2 shows a front view of the rotary tool 1 according to the invention of the first embodiment from FIG. 1. In the front view the rotationally symmetric design of the rotary tool 1 is visible. More exactly speaking, the rotary tool 1 is divided into six circular portions / sections 28 of equal design which are arranged to be rotated at an angle of 60° relative to each other about the axis of rotation A and thus altogether define the entire cross-section of the rotary tool 1 over 360°.

[0055]In the rotary tool 1 the star-shaped corset structure 12 having six points 44 each pointing radially outwardly into the area 14 supporting the cutting edge 4 are arranged radially inside. In total, the rotary tool 1 comprises, in conformity with the number of points 44 and, resp., the number of circle segments 28, six cutting edges 4. Alternatively, the corset structure 12 may as well be in the form of a circular disk. The support structure 10 includes, when viewed in the circumferential di...

third embodiment

[0064]FIG. 8 illustrates a further, third preferred embodiment of a rotary tool 201 according to the invention. In this Figure, too, for a simplified description, those components of the parts of the afore-described other embodiments are correspondingly provided with similar reference numerals which are preceded by “2”. The rotary tool 201 again includes, in conformity with the foregoing embodiments, at its outer periphery 2 cutting edges 204 at cutting members 226 in the form of cutting inserts which are held in axially and radially adjustable cartridges 205. The cutting edges 4 are supported by two radially outer and diametrically opposed supporting areas 214 of a support structure 210. The support structure 210 in this third embodiment is not in the form of a circular cup but rather in the form of a cup having cut-off sides 216 which are diametrically opposed with respect to the axis of rotation. The cut-off sides 216 serve for improving the handling in logistics and storage of t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a rotary tool (1; 101; 201; 301; 401) for cutting large inside diameters at the outer circumference (2) of which at least one cutting edge (4; 104; 204) is arranged, comprising a support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) which includes a supporting area (14; 114; 214) which indirectly or directly supports the cutting edge (4; 104; 204), and comprising a chucking portion (24; 124; 224; 324; 424) for coupling to a tool holder, wherein the support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) is designed in light-weight construction and the area (14; 114; 214) of the support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) indirectly or directly supporting the cutting edge (4; 104; 204) is limited regarding thermal expansion by a corset structure (12; 112; 212; 312; 412).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a rotary tool / rotating tool for cutting large inside / inner diameters, at the outer circumference of which at least one cutting edge is arranged, the rotary tool comprising a support structure which has a supporting area that indirectly or directly supports the cutting edge, and comprising a chucking portion for coupling to a tool holder. The chucking portion may take any shape, preferably such shape that it can be coupled to the corresponding spindle of a machine tool via common tool holders such as a hollow-shank taper holder (HSK-taper).STATE OF THE ART[0002]Especially by the fact that more and more electromotive drives or conventional gearings having a higher number of speeds are required, there is a more urgent problem of high-precision cutting large inside diameters such as e.g. the inside diameter of a stator housing of an electric motor.[0003]Concerning the efficiency of an electric motor, it is of salient importance to ex...
